It\u2019s just going to take some time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tulane began practice on Monday, with its season opener scheduled for Nov. 3 at home against Samford.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe first day of practice, I usually show highlights of some of the things we did well last year,\u201d Hunter said. \u201cI couldn\u2019t do that this year because Gregg was in all of them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEarly in the practice, we were extremely quiet.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hunter said the two players taking Glenn\u2019s death the hardest are transfer forward Scotty Middleton, who spent the last two years at Seton Hall but played AAU ball with Glenn in south Florida, and center Percy Daniels, who was Glenn\u2019s roommate.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re all kind of dependent on each other,\u201d Hunter said, \u201cbut the Tulane community has been incredible in helping the players. We\u2019re really appreciative.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hunter said he has spoken several times with Omaha head coach Chris Crutchfield over the last few weeks. The Mavericks lost transfer Deng Mayar to a drowning accident on Aug. 16.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve kind of comforted each other,\u201d Hunter said of his conversations with Crutchfield.<\/p>\n<p>A look at Tulane\u2019s website shows the 2025-26 roster, with Glenn still on it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen you walk in our locker room, we left Gregg\u2019s locker the exact same way he left it,\u201d Hunter said. \u201cIt will not be touched until after he graduates with this senior class. The players wanted to make sure his locker\u2019s not touched.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hunter took an honest moment during his Q&amp;A with area media.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI woke up not wanting to this,\u201d he said, \u201cbecause I haven\u2019t spoken about it. Therapeutically, I probably needed this. I don\u2019t think my program can move on until I can move on.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut,\u201d the seventh-year head coach added, \u201cwe\u2019re getting there.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It has been nearly two months since the tragic passing of Tulane men\u2019s basketball player Gregg Glenn III.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":249574,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[44],"tags":[1339,1317,1337,1338,62,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-249573","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-ncaa-basketball","8":"tag-basketball","9":"tag-ncaa","10":"tag-ncaa-basketball","11":"tag-ncaabasketball","12":"tag-sports","13":"tag-united-states","14":"tag-unitedstates","15":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115255003435491625","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/249573","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=249573"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/249573\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/249574"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=249573"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=249573"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=249573"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
